What is kiteboarding?
Kiteboarding (which is kinda like windsurfing, but you have a kite-type, parafoil-thingy instead of a sail) is very good here. Not caught on a bunch, but I always see them in the lagoon. Wind here is a constant thing. We lie in the path of the tradewinds (how Christopher Columbus ended up here on his second voyage), so we have a 10-15 knot easterly wind al the itme. Great for kiteboarding.
how often dose it rain? so it is rare to have a windless day?
also dose anyone know if you can take a bike on the ferries
It rains almost every day here...but usually for only 10-20 minutes. An all day rain is unusual.
Very rare for a completely windless day. It may die down for a couple hours, but then it's back to normal.
Bicycles? Sure. Motorcycles? No.
Does kiteboarding require you to be physically strong like windsurfing does? I broke my arm and, well, I just don't have much strength in it but (before I broke my arm) I use to love to windsurf.
I haven't done it myself, but I would think that it would require more. I see people geting lifetr into the air on a regular basis. Check it out at http://www.kiteboardingmag.com Sure looks fun!!
Oh how fun -- thanks for the website Marty
